Our business philosophy

While still keeping the original brand "Tsurumi" from the founder Chojiro, we have also created many new and unique brands. Ten employees, including fifth generation brew master and former engineer Hiromoto work at Oishi shuzo. The brewery workers are enthusiastic about research, and skilled at delicate handicrafts such as potato preparation, jarring, and labeling.

The old-style manufacturing process permits us to produce a wide variety of products with artisan attention to raw materials and manufacturing methods, even though the amount of products produced is small compared to big factories.

Fifth generation toji ( master brewer) Hiromoto constantly studies literature on the production of shochu from all over the world. The reproduction of the old-fashioned Kabuto-distillation is also an example of the result of his research and trials with the distillation process.. He continues to imprint his knowledge and vision by understanding the old traditions and adding new ideas to them. He challenges himself until he makes satisfying shochu.

The endless inquiry and passion of the shochu makers of Oishi shuzo aim to make shochu that heals the drinker's heart.
